This LG washer is economical, quiet and very efficient - great machine
5/5
We like the fact that this model has a Direct Drive motor which means that it is very eco friendly in comparison with standard or belt driven washing machines.
AO should really make a bigger thing of this machine having direct drive in the description. It means that is is more reliable, less moving parts to go wrong, quieter and more energy efficient.
It is quiet, very quiet.
We have open plan living where the living area, dining and kitchen are as one. So having a quieter machine is important to us, and this one certainly is.
Throughout the wash cycles this new LG washing machine barely takes our energy smart meter from green or amber lights.
I think we have only seen it go red with the washing machine running once, and that was a 60 degree wash.
It cleans the laundry very well with the liquid detergent that we use. The 1400 rpm spin cycle certainly gets the clothes touch dry as they come out of the machine, so it efficiently does exactly what it is supposed to do.
The machine looks great too. Very modern and with a clear visual display screen.
The tinted glass door means it is harder to see what's going on inside, but it does improve the aesthetic design.
Our previous LG washing machine had been reliable for over 12 years old when we replaced it with this new one (that too had a direct drive motor).
That sort of reliability combined with the efficiency and quietness of this new one made it our choice.
This is a very good washing machine, it is certainly worthy of 5 stars.
